Our Mission

It’s our mission to empower our patients to achieve long-term, meaningful changes in their physical health and wellbeing.

We believe in going beyond just treating symptoms and addressing the root causes of pain and discomfort, so that our patients can live their lives to the fullest without fear of recurrence.

We pride ourselves on our commitment to the principles of physiotherapy and rehabilitation, while also recognising the unique needs and circumstances of each individual who walks through our doors.

Our proven treatment model is designed to take patients far beyond their recovery expectations and towards lasting results that enables them to use their body to its full potential—at any age.

Our Values

Treat

Achieve meaningful outcomes, and treat with humility, empathy and compassion.

Educate

Nurture and empower our patients to make informed decisions on their recovery journey, lifestyle habits and future.

Inspire

Inspire our community, partnerships and the health industry to go above and beyond. To be a force for good.

Evolve

Continue to grow, adapt, and change with burning curiosity. Think one step ahead to best serve our patients and be the best version of ourselves.

The first two stages are for symptomatic relief – the ‘feel good’ stages. Your body will feel better, lighter, inflammation will be reduced, and mobility will be restored.

However, in order to future proof your body, we need to relearn and consolidate movement skills, acquire new habits to address all factors that contributed to the injury in the first place. This is especially important for those with chronic pain and a sensitised nervous system.

When you commit to these stages, and consolidate the groundwork, you will experience body transformations with no stresses, minimal pain, and movements that work in your favour.

Our Treatment Model

Recovery comes in different stages.

While the Recover and Restore stages feel good and restore your mobility, lasting change won’t be achieved if you stop there.

In order to future proof your body, we need to Relearn, Consolidate and acquire new Habits to address all factors that contributed to your injury in the first place.

We’ll guide you and help you commit to these stages, so you experience transformations of:

A body with no stresses.
A body with minimal pain.
Movements that work in your favor.

Our clinics are located in Leichhardt and Potts Point.

We employ a thoughtful combination of both passive and active approaches to therapy, and ensure that every modality we use is intentional, evidence-based, and tailored to each patient’s lifestyle, learning style, and experience.

This place was amazing I was so happy about how I was treated and looked after . I liked how everything was explained to me and it made sense . I was grateful when I told my symptoms to the lovely lady she knew what I was talking about and ways we could improve things and that I wasn’t alone. Also I felt that the environment was pleasant calm and relaxing which is what I needed. I have already taken a few work cards to pass out to some ladies I know . Thank you ???? Looking forward to moving forward

Anastasia is a miracle worker! I'm a keen runner and I started seeing her a few months ago after a couple of broken backs and a (new) torn hammy. She diagnosed my hammy problem quickly and efficiently, provided immediate relief through some deep massage to allow me to survive a few more important runs before my wedding (honeymoon = rest), and has helped me rebuild through focused strength work and home exercises. She obviously cares about her patients and enjoys helping them achieve their goals. I'm now running regularly and pain free again! Thanks Anastasia 🙂
